MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE is a function added in OpenInsight 9.4 to allow developers to read or write records to server-side tables even if they are not mapped. The primary purpose is to let a developer read or write values to a non-standard dictionary row, for instance a sequence counter.
Function MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE(VolName, Method, NativeTable, key, Record)
The function has the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| VolName | (in) Volume ( Connection ) name | |
| Method | (in) One of ("READ READU WRITEU WRITE RELEASE DELETE" ) | |
| NativeTable | (in) Native table name, e.g. "MY.FILE" or "DICT MY.FILE" | |
| key | (in) key to the record | |
| Record | (in/out) = data record | |
** Read and write values to a native table or dict for a table on a connected server ** The connection (volname) must be configured, but the table need not be attached / mapped ** ** The goal is to access dictionary rows that are not mapped to the shadow dictionary ** because they have an invalid type. But it can be used for any table on the server ** See Also RTI_READU, RTI_WRITERELEASE ** Example : Read a value from a dictionary volname = 'QM_BOBCART' method = 'READ' nativetable = 'DICT TEST_SELECT' key = 'MY.SEQUENTIAL.COUNTERS' record = "" Call MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE(VolName, Method, NativeTable, key, record, status) value = record<1>
